FIFA president Gianni Infantino had called upon Maradona on Monday to help negotiate deadlocked talks over the future of Argentina's league, where the big clubs want to form a super league.
On arriving back in Argentina, the 55-year-old said he would first take a holiday before "talking with the various interested parties."
"I'm not against a new format," the 55-year-old who starred in Argentina's 1986 World Cup triumph said.
"I haven't got a magic wand. We'll have to weigh up the pros and cons and we have to talk to the honest people, those who love Argentine football," he said.
A spokesman for FIFA revealed that Infantino had sought help from Maradona earlier this week.
"FIFA is committed to help and assist find a sustainable solution for the governance of Argentinian football. And Diego Maradona has offered his support," a spokesman said.
